non-human secret history

"I've always been curious, if you don't eat people, what does Ya, who is a ghost, usually rely on for a living?" When walking, Hu Dieren asked hesitantly.

As the only female companion in the team, and she is the earliest acquaintance with me, so although there are differences in positions between the ghost killing team and the ghosts, it is very easy to establish a relationship between Hu Dieren and me. Inexplicable friendship.

"Speaking of which, you may not believe in Shinobu, I think I eat the same food as you humans—" I pointed to my luggage, which was confiscated by the Demon Slayer Squad, and which is being held by Purgatory Kyojuro at the moment: " If you don’t believe me, you can look through it, I remember there is still some unfinished dry food in the bag.”

Hearing what I said, Hu Dieren ran directly to the side of Purgatory Xingshoulang, begged for my luggage, and unceremoniously opened it——

"There really are!"

"After all, no matter how you are a ghost, you still have to eat seriously." I shrugged: "But having said that, I really can't understand the behavior of cannibalism. To be reasonable, I have a big problem with being a ghost." For hundreds of years, there has never been a moment when I felt that I could speak to a creature that looks like me, whether it is a human being or a monster that can transform into a human form."

"Eh? Is that so?" Hu Diejin elongated her tone: "Such ghosts have existed for thousands of years but are unknown..."

"Maybe it's because I keep a low profile." I said.

I didn't talk too deeply about the topic of the ghost clan with this group of ghost killers.After all, there are too many topics involved, so I think it might be better to negotiate directly with their leaders than the team members who are on the go all day.

In any case, the existence of Hu Dieren made this journey less depressing.We two ghosts and the ghost killer team walked for two days in peace.

until the evening of the third day.

For whatever reason, I slept so restlessly that day that when I woke up, it was still brightly lit outside.

I sat up.

At this time, the person on night duty—or should I say day duty—is Gutian Eiichi. When he saw me wake up, he turned his head away in disgust.

I ignored his attitude, just stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"What are you doing?" he scolded.

"Go and bask in the sun." I shrugged: "I'm not some shady ghost, I'm still very serious and yearn for sunshine."

"You'd better not try to escape," he said.

"I can't come here with you if I want to run, you know." I gave him a sideways look, and then walked out.

However, Eiichi Gutian didn't intend to let me leave at all.Perhaps in his opinion, the most important meaning of taking turns on duty during the break is to monitor us two ghosts.

He also turned over and stood up, and followed me out.

"Aren't you afraid that Suichiro will sneak up here after I tease the tiger away?" I teased.

He snorted lightly.

"I won't let this guy's breath out of my monitoring range."

"And you treat other people as a display?"

I ignored Furuta Eiichi any more.

Although the resting cave is quite spacious, the air inside is inevitably a little cloudy, and the light is dim, so I always feel a little depressed when resting there.

The sky outside had begun to darken, and the secluded woods were dyed reddish gold by the setting sun.Through the gaps in the leaves above my head, I can vaguely see the same fiery red stratus clouds in the sky.

I took a deep breath.The air in the forest is always stained with the coolness of the approaching night earlier than other places. Although the scene is the most beautiful red, it is a pity that such a picture is unfortunately mixed with a bit of coldness.

"It's a pity it's the sunset." I sighed softly.

He stretched out his hand towards the direction where the sun leaked, but let the halo shine on his eyes through the fingers.So I narrowed my eyes, and under the traction of this movement, a smile seemed to appear on my whole face.

I literally laughed out loud.

"Well, even though it's the coldest sun, at least it worked hard to make the sky so red." I whispered to myself, "Tomorrow will probably be a good day."

The breath of Furuta Eiichi who followed behind suddenly froze.I don't know if it's my illusion, but after that, his breath seems to be a little more gentle.

"Hello," he called.

I ignored him.Turning around, I walked in the direction of the cave where I was stationed.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist.I backhanded away and glared at him.

"What do you want to do?" His voice was a little dull.

"What?" I frowned slightly.

"Follow us, what is your purpose?" Gu Tian asked again.

"Didn't you insist on dragging me back with you to accept some kind of trial?" I curled my lips: "You are the ones who are prejudiced against us, okay? I just go with you, make it clear, and then please don't do it again in the future." Bother us serious people like this. If this counts as a destination—”

Gu Tianying said nothing more.

When they returned to the cave, all the members of the Demon Slayer Squad had woken up, and only Suichiro was still sleeping soundly as if nothing had happened.

Compared with well-trained humans, ghosts still inevitably seem a little free and loose...

But I soon felt that something was wrong—compared to just now, Suichiro's breath seemed to be much scattered, and it was a bit weak.

Although it is said that when sleeping, the breath of both humans and ghosts will be slightly weakened, but Suichiro's current situation seems to have exceeded the normal range.

"I tried to call him just now, but he was in a deep sleep, and he didn't seem to want to wake up." Hu Dieren said from the side: "And his breath seems to be much weaker than usual, I don't know ghosts very well. body, but looking at him like this, I'm still a little worried—is he sick?"

sick?Although ghosts are not immune to illness, such things are rare.But considering Suichiro's situation, I squatted down and carefully looked at the man lying on his side.

His breath was messy and weak, even with rustling noises.

Probably not sleeping well.

He closed his eyes, his thick eyebrows were almost twitched, and his breath turned into a small hum when it passed through his throat, which, together with his rhythmless snorting, turned into a vague raving.

"Flower... child."

he murmured.

Just like when I suddenly heard the bad news that day, it was full of sadness.

Are you sick?Or……

This is the original Suichiro.

I bit my lip lightly.I know that such a guess is a bit absurd, but I still can't help thinking like this——

Suddenly, I felt another strange breath... No, there are many——

"There is a situation!" I quickly reminded.

In just a short moment, there are more than a dozen ghosts that appeared within the range of my perception. They are moving at a high speed, and the target is obviously us who are gathered here.

The members of the Ghost Killing Squad deserved to be experienced in hundreds of battles, but in the blink of an eye, they took action.

"Spread out, don't let them form a siege!" Xing Shoulang quickly made arrangements.

"Then I'll stay here. Together with Miss Chia and Suichiro." Hu Dieren said.

After the order was issued, several members of the Demon Slayer Squad disappeared immediately, and the only ones left in front of me were Ku Die Shinobu and the sleeping Zuichiro.

Of course I wouldn't mind if they let me stay where I was, but rather, thanks to their mistrust, I was left alone.

But compared to the battle itself, I am more concerned about the fact that these ghosts appear at the same time - ghosts are always very proud creatures, and it is really not normal for me to form such a large army in the wild, although in The ones you can meet here are not serious guys.

If such a group of ghosts can be gathered at once, two conditions must be met: first, these ghosts are not particularly strong except for strength, and they are not even aware of the competition between them; There is an incredibly powerful leader.

Strong enough to make them obey unconditionally.

Rather than saying that the group of ghosts that surrounded them were hunters, it would be better to say that they were basically hounds raised in captivity, and behind them, there might be such a real hunter——

"Eiichi!!"

The author has something to say:

Boss Scrap's behavior is always very willful. How should I put it, as the boss of the ghost, he is also the culprit who gave the ghost its greatest weakness (sunshine), and is the honorary member of the ghost killing team who kills the most strings, spraying people every day It's too miserable to be slapped in the face all the time, which makes it impossible for me to simply treat him as a scumbag. Now I look at him like I look at the stupid son of a landlord's family who is usually angry [paralyzed...

And tomorrow will be more (whisper
